FLO Friday: ShouldAI, CouldAI, WouldAI?

About the Session

In this FLO Friday session, participants will formulate “ShouldAI, CouldAI, WouldAI?” questions to discuss the use of AI in their classes and assessments.

Recognizing that learning outcomes inform pedagogical practices; participants will explore how AI could be used to support achievement and to enhance student success. Generative AI has not only underscored the need for curricular innovation but also highlighted the necessity for support and training to manage this complex task.

Participants will collaborate on the future of education with an “AI perspective. They will analyze their assessment strategies in the context of their learning outcomes and AI use among students. They will collaborate on developing a curriculum considering current and future AI use

FLO MicroCourse: Decolonizing Pedagogies – Reframing the Ways We Teach
Mar 10 – Mar 14 all-day

About the MicroCourse: 

Based on the success and waitlist for the September 2024 offering of this course, we are rerunning the same course. Join us for this free one-week Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) MicroCourse offering you opportunities to reframe some of the pedagogical approaches that could be hindering your journey towards reconciliation. FLO MicroCourse

Each day will introduce a new approach or resource aimed at weaving Indigenous perspectives into our practice, fostering decolonization and expanding our teaching repertoire.  

Learning outcomes: 

  • Become acquainted with the B.C. Government’s distinctions-based approach. 
  • Reflect on what hinders us, and what motivates us, to do the work of decolonization and reconciliation. 
  • Share similarities and differences in our practice. 
  • Create visions for the future based on our individual contexts and collective aspirations.

While most of the learning will happen asynchronously, we have one optional synchronous session planned on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, from 12:00-1:30 p.m.

To get the most out of this learning experience, participants should expect to invest 2.5 asynchronous hours each day to review and reflect on the course materials and resources.
